Television: Pick of the day
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

You sometimes wonder why television doesn't just go the whole hog and screen the public birching of teenagers, such is its seeming desire to put right decades of wrong-headed parenting. In the meantime, we have Turn-About Ranch in Utah, whither swearing, stealing and parent-punching British adolescents are sent by their hitherto over-indulgent mamas and papas. The first series of Brat Camp won an Emmy, and the novelty in this second run is that the parents come too - after a decent interval - to try to learn which part of their offspring's brattishness they might have unwittingly nurtured.
HISTORY Auschwitz: the Nazis and the `Final Solution' (9pm BBC2)
Perhaps surprisingly, Auschwitz was a dream posting for SS men and women. The lure (apart from not being on the Eastern Front) was the riches to be stolen from the about-to-be-gassed prisoners.
FILM Greetings (12.20am BBC2)
Long before he hooked up with Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro was a regular in Brian De Palma's early films. This Godardian De Palma curio from the Vietnam war era has De Niro (above) dodging the draft in New York City.
